Second post of the day

Well, I don't EVER do two posts in a day but this is a special day besides being the first day of summer -- Secret Pal 10 Reveal Day, as it turns out. My package to my spoilee, Jen, arrived and she blogged about it AND tagged me with a Birthday Meme, which I will do at the end of this post. Go say hello to Jen.

I came back from running errands and found 3 packages on my doorstep. I had recently ordered a couple small bits of yarn for two more felted bags and they were sitting there as well as a box from my spoiler, Pam. She sent me a skein of superwash sock yarn in a gorgeous purple, a beautiful heart shaped box, some gift tags for handknits and a circular needle holder, which I so desperately need. Thanks SO MUCH secret pal. Go say hello to Pam.
